The notch 25 firmly contacts the outer edge of the tongue 22 and the cutaway portion 26 rests respectively on the top and front walls 19 and 21 of Said portion 18 and hence the aforesaid object is attained,

Inlview of this rigidconstruction and the assurance that stability will be maintained irrespective of the position of the trunk or the hard usage attending its service, wearing apparel may be transported within the trunk withoutdanger of displacement or dislodgment so'prevalent in the present day wardrobe carrying means. a

It will of course be understood that a plurality of supports may be positioned within 7 the trunk and that the provision of a plurality of apertures 27-permits the placement of the hangers at suitable distances and at the same time allows the adoption of a large number of hangers to increase the carrying quality of the trunk. p

While the present is a disclosure of the preferred embodiment of the. invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, as various changes in the minor details of construction, proportion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the s irit of the invention as defined in the appen ed claims.
